Harrison
County Public Library wishes to outreach its services, materials
and resources to Harrison County residents who may otherwise not
have access or may not be aware of the availability of those services.
To do this, the library is expanding home delivery of materials
to shut-ins and residents with limited mobility. "Books to
Go" will also expand the educational programs that would be
of interest to adults in the county.

Every
person who qualifies will receive a "get-acquainted" visit
from a library staff member to review reading preferences and to
identify any special needs the patron may have, such as large print
books or books-on-tape. The homebound patron also completes a questionnaire,
either verbally or in writing, on favorite books, authors, and areas
of interest that will be kept on file at the library. Materials
will be selected based on patron preference, request, and availability.
To sign-up please contact Sue King at 738-4110 or email sue@hcpl.lib.in.us.
An in-home visit will be scheduled at your convenience.
